I obtained a pair of TS etched bulbs from a ex fire department Econoline van. Even trade for a pair of new halogens installed. Maybe you could source from one of those southwestern salvage yards.

In years past we always searched and checked postal vehicles since they rarely used their headlight and were more often still good. Of course over the years every idiot spent their time in yards breaking headlights as a pass time apparently 



School buses also

OK looked through most of my stuff (low hanging fruit    and came up with these

Did find one that had a K85 date on it. Not sure of the source

Tried to also include FoMoCo with and without oval around it. Sometimes the FoMoCo are on the same fan blade as the engineering number and date. On others they are on different blades. Didn't include that detail

Hope this helps

Remember or at least consider every time a previous non-widely known and shared detail is shared it can help potential buyers but also those that wish to take advantage of those that would cheat, fake, misrepresent or just steal from another potential buyer. If everyone knew everything them is would be just about impossible to tell the real from the copies.

If your looking to confirm a car please don't go it alone, ask and get some quality help. If they are good you can't learn enough in a short enough period to protect yourself. Way too many stories and way to many "that guy" purchases over the decades.

Just my thoughts

Thanks for sharing. That's a BIG collection

One kit I kept over the years since the GT350 (in blue) matches the wife's car.

Cory are you focusing just on 66 production or a wider look at 64-66 with the early style K code fans?

Just wanted to know where to start and stop and sampling

The one on the top and on the right are correct the installed bottom one is too long.

Yes the one on the bottom left doesn't have the correct "Filter" material either - guessing its some ones repo attempt. Was included to show in context to where it is located on a assembled car. Should have mentioned the differences in the post

Believe this is what he's looking for



Sure he will confirm or correct me

Here are a couple of pictures to illustrate







The picture above is from the Peterson collection posted here for educational purposes 

Yes great news and sending out wishes and prayers that Dan gets a handle on his medical conditions. Best wishes for him and his family

Nice 69 Grande in the background

Believe you will find that its not a grande (missing a number of key clues in the picture to be one) but a standard coupe

Thanks for posting. Knew the story well guess it made sense to focus on their most successful models as there were many different models and parts made.

Maybe this will help. The pdf Bob posted above, rotated and converted. Really could use a freshening

What steps are needed beyond registering for SAAC 50 and paying the Concours judging fee?

If you just want to attend and show a car think that is about it if you live close enough to not need a room. Sure someone will correct that if I've over looked something 

It isn't so much of tilting the car for the engine. It is the transmission tailpiece hits the ground easily. I think the assembly line just had more room for the transmission to clear? The bell, I don't know about.

Remember or consider that at the station where the engine and transmissions were installed there were two workers above - up with the car, then a worker below in a pit to grab and guide the transmission and tail shaft plus all the clearance the pit provided. Plus plenty of experience

From the description I thought there was going to be a larger fire. Glad to see that it wasn't

Is it me, may have missed it, but did someone forget putting the engine plate on before they put on the flywheel?  Not that it would be the first time someone forgot that.

Not sure where the GIANT X on the oil pan came from along with a few other details.

Good job on sliding the engine into place - we all seem to have similar though different practices. Of course editing and such can often make things look easier and smoother.

Hope Jerry get to drive and enjoy the Shelby soon though he may already be doing just that
